Canadians today are confused as they watch most Americans trashing the extreme progressivism that took hold of their country, especially after COVID and George Floyd. What to do? We still have a PM and governing party that completely bought into that toxic ideology. What do we do? Most of our journalists still think of clever ways to insult Trump, while writing mush. Our political leaders start waving our flag, after calling the country a genocidal, racist non-country. Will we Canadians actually start thinking for ourselves, or just continuing to think what CBC and clones tell us to think?

Progressive can never be extreme because becoming more progressive is the opposite of regressive, which is exactly what the worst of the worst conservatives have always been, which describes the usa perfectly.

Canada is a genocidal, racist country that fully supported the largely run usa American Holocaust, started by the first brits that landed in the early 1600s. The largest Holocaust in human history against the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas.

... despite an often expressed contempt for Christianity, in Mein Kampf Hitler had written that his plan for a triumphant Nazism was modeled on the Catholic Church's traditional "tenacious adherence to dogma" and its "fanatical intolerance," particularly in the Church's past when, as Arno J. Mayer has noted, Hitler observed approvingly that in "building 'its own altar,' Christianity had not hesitated to 'destroy the altars of the heathen.' ', 15 Had Hitler required supporting evidence for this contention he would have needed to look no further than the Puritans' godly justifications for exterminating New England's Indians in the seventeenth century or, before that, the sanctimonious Spanish legitimation of genocide, as ordained by Christian Truth, in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Meso- and South America. (It is worth noting also that the Fuhrer from time to time expressed admiration for the "efficiency" of the American genocide campaign against the Indians, viewing it as a forerunner for his own plans and programs.) But the roots of the tradition run far deeper than that-back to the high Middle Ages and before-when at least part of the Christians' willingness to destroy the infidels who lived in what was considered to be a spiritual wilderness was rooted in a rabid need to kill the sinful wilderness that lived within themselves. To understand the horrors that were inflicted by Europeans and white Americans on the Indians of the Americas it is necessary to begin with a look at the core of European thought and culture-Christianity-and in particular its ideas on sex and race and violence.

A great piece. Principled conservatism is what results when you wake up from woke utopianism. It's an adult cognitive disposition partly because our popular culture and education systems where children first get exposed to ideas have been captured by the utopian left but we must remember that that capture was successful for a reason, and one reason is that utopianism is cognitively facile. This is why most red pill transitions in Western societies go from left to right. It requires breaking out of a deep local minimum that relatively few successfully achieve.

Describe a single time in history when conservatism was "Principled conservatism".

My wake up moment was the governmental response to the Covid crisis.

I am carefully watching the Swamp reorient itself to be less visible. I explain what the Swamp is in this podcast here:

Here is the summation of a 3 inch thick book I was condensing:

All Western Governments have slowly become Administrative States that run things from the shadows, with no real accountability and no way to reign in their globalist leanings. The beaurocrats reign supreme, and the elections are distracting beauty pageants, without affecting the governance of the state. Until you realize this reality, not much will make sense to you. The Point of the Administrative State ( Deep State/Swamp) is to be an air gap between the people and the power centers. Deception is the point, you think you have a government, but you do not. It is their government and they do as they see fit, regardless of what you think. Those loyal to the deep state are rewarded; those who oppose are befuddled and run in circles,, and the clock runs out of them until they are replaced with someone loyal to the cause. Even if you became President, Senator or Congressman, your best intentions will be for nought because of the administrative state that protects its power, its interests and its own agenda. Expand, expand and expand. I will explain some of these concepts in my podcast. The on-point book on this topic focused on the USA: Unmasking the Administrative State by John Marini Synopsis of the book: The election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency shocked the political establishment, triggering a wave of hysteria among the bicoastal elite that may never subside. The biggest shockwaves of all, however, were felt not in the progressive parishes of Manhattan or San Francisco, but in the halls of the political elite’s cherished and oft-overlooked center of power―Washington, DC’s sprawling “administrative state”―for President Trump represented an existential threat to its denizens, who came to be known as “swamp creatures.” How did it come to pass that the “draining of the swamp” would become a core aim of the Trump administration, impacting everything from judicial appointments to the federal budget and regulatory policy? Marini’s unmasking of the administrative state goes beyond bureaucracy or legalism to its core in an intellectual elite whose consensus transcends whatever disagreements flare up. The universities, the media, and think tanks that denounce Trump are its heart. The answer to this question and many more lies in the underappreciated but revolutionary scholarship of Professor John Marini, collected in his new book, Unmasking the Administrative State, which tells the critically missed story of the Last Century of political history: The Ascendance of the theory behind and resultant growth of an administrative state that has supplanted limited constitutional government with the tyranny of unbounded anticonstitutional bureaucracy. Marini illustrates the existential threat of the administrative state to our republic, exposes the regressive philosophy from which it springs, and argues for the reassertion of the founding principles to restore self-government. The Trump administration may be the best chance to apply the lessons of Marini’s life’s work and seize this remarkable opportunity to restore power to its rightful owners: the American people.

No bigger fools ever in the world than those who have ever "thought" that "the American people" were ever, from the Founding Liars to trump, "its rightful owners"?

The concept is universal in the book or my podcast, apply the truth as you wish. The administrative state is how they overcome the perception of local government control, which is actually controlled by globalists.

This globalist notion is crap, total crap. The usa would NEVER EVER allow such a thing, certainly never to be run by the EU.

The usa got itself into WWII so as to crush the then world leader uk so the usa could take over its role as War Criminal "nation" numero uno.

Luckily, the usa's Gangster "nation" status is coming to an end with the rapid growth of BRICS & BRICS Plus.

Exactly the same kind of deceptive control that "christian" "religions" have used since their amoral, genocidal beginnings.

Christianity as a religion is a front for world powers. The Roman Empire became or rebranded as the Roman Catholic Church.

Sounds like you're talking about Matt Taibbi, who still considers himself part of "the left" even though most of these lefties think he's "far-right". In truth, anyone who doesn't parrot these crazy left talking points is accused of far-rightism because that's apparently about as far as these people can think.

Folks who support war criminal, Crimes against Humanity, mass Holocaust producing, Wars of Aggression, ... usa are far right because that is the usa in a nutshell, from the Founding Liars/Holocausters to today. Far worse than the Nazis ever were.

That trump won not once but twice provides a perfect example of just how totally phucked up the usa is now and has always been.

The usa is now and has always been "right wing white supremacist racists"; does no one know the history of the usa?
